Definitely not readonly today!

l10n single-locale repacks are still burning, even after significant work to un-hork them. bug 923950 is blocked by releng configuration issue tracked by bug 951238. I’m concerned that I don’t understand what releases this issue is effecting, and how much work uplift will be (it’s definitely non-trivial). I can work around this if we have a time crunch for uplift (I think this is affecting Aurora as well?) but it’s work that I don’t have much time to do.

|mach projectify| rebased patch is up at bug 853045. Testers wanted. It’s Eclipse only, but the remnants of IntelliJ are there — patches welcome. Patches for coding style defaults even more welcome.

<drums>Firefox Accounts on 29 death march begins.</drums> Landed final two bugs for Engineering Milestone on elm yesterday (bug 918012 and bug 899217). Cross-platform testing today and tomorrow. Meeting with product and UX to discuss native UI tomorrow AM.

Marketing, Press & Public Reaction

Brazil Desktop Campaign: Now live as of last week. This campaign was created to coincide with the launch of Firefox OS in Brazil in order to leverage our partner’s spend in this region since Firefox will “be in the air.” Next steps: watch performance and optimize ad spend accordingly. [Kristin, Laura & NoBox]

Van’s Triple Crown Contest: The final contest ended this weekend in a gripping finale between Kelly Slater and John-John Florence making this the most viewed Triple Crown contest yet, with over 20M viewers of the live-stream. Final Social API activation numbers coming soon. [Kristin, Brand Team]

Friends of the Firefox team

First award went to Luís Miguel (:Quicksaver), who was nominated last week!

Does anybody know who pamela.karam1 is? She nominated herself for a badge, but I can’t find an entry on Mozillians, nor activity on Bugzilla… unless anybody can vouch for her, I’m going to reject this one.

mconley will send out badge nominations for any folks in this list each week. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like I can share admin rights on this badge with anyone else.

I have the ability to update the badge name, image, etc. Please send mconley your feedback.

Social API

landed removal of old style toolbar button, replaced with sidebar header (similar to left sidebar) that contains controls to change the provider in the sidebar, versions for both Australis and Holly (bug 935640)

large-ish refactoring patch in feedback loop (bug 894806)

short term focus is on bugs, refactoring, testing beta/australis changes to verify everything is ok for feb releases

Key Issues

(Non team specific issues that impact engineering.)

Team Stand-ups

(In <2 mins, what did your team accomplish last week, on what is your team working on this week, and on what, if anything, is your team blocked? No questions during the stand-ups. All questions should be asked during the roundtable.)

Firefox OS Media Apps (hema)

Landed targeted media features into 1.3 except for the image orientation gallery feature which will land in the next train

Triaging and Continuing to work on 1.3 bugs that are coming in

Starting requirements grooming and planning for 1.4

Continuing on quality improvements for some of the media apps

Firefox OS Productivity (doliver)

<Read Only>

1.3 status

Testing is well underway on our new 1.3 features. Find, fix, repeat.

1.4 status

We have reviewed the new targeted features for Clock, Calendar and E-mail

Team is scoping the work this week and we’ll get started on development in the first half of January

Team updates

Lots of changes to report:

New team members: The UX group has moved around some assignments and we have four new team members in Taipei who will handle all of our UX needs: Mike Tsai, Neo Hsieh, Harly Hsu and Juwei Huang

Clock app: The Bocoup group have been working on this app for the 1.2 & 1.3 releases and Mike Pennisi at Bocoup is the current module owner. They are coming off the project at the end of January so we are beginning the process to transition the ownership of this app back into our team.

Notes/Notes+ app: Everything.me created these apps for the initial launch of FxOS and published them in the marketplace. They are no longer interested in maintaining the apps so we are also bringing this effort into the Productivity team. The first order of business is to clean up the Evernote integration in the Notes+ app. We have started working on this now with a new contractor on our team.

Backlog management: Like other teams, we have found that trying to manage our backlog in Pivotal Tracker has not been very successful. Trying to keep it in sync with Bugzilla proved to be too much overhead. For 1.4, we’re moving back into bugzilla with a combination of whiteboards and flags to identify our current and future work. The Pivotal Tracker board will be cleaned out and removed.

General Topics

Friends of the Firefox team

Give a shoutout/thanks to people for helping fix and test bugs.

Luís Miguel [:Quicksaver] for filing detailed, constructive and helpful bugreports about Australis’ CustomizableUI API even though docs are still lacking. It’s been very helpful in polishing the rough edges that we’ve not run into within Firefox’s own use of the API.

[mconley] Filed bug 948019 for a contributor badge – mart3ll has generated a WIP set that he’s shared with me privately, which hopefully we can start putting up soon.

Project Updates

Australis

Australis bug filing has ticked up a little in the past week

No new major worries, but some new edge cases are coming in that weren’t known about before

Holly merged to Mozilla-Aurora, in one of the cleanest and simplest merges that I’ve (jaws) ever dealt with

We will keep Holly going through the Fx29 Nightly cycle and as far forward as necessary until Australis merges to Aurora

Potentially we could introduce a Holly^2 for the Aurora branch in case we decide not to push it to Beta, but this starts to get more complicated pretty fast
